FAB 4 COLLECTIBLES OFFERS THE ORIGINAL MID 1964 TOPPS CHEWING GUM BEATLES TRADING CARDS - THE COMPLETE COLLECTION OF THE "A HARD DAY'S NIGHT" MOVIE SERIES OF THE U.S.A.. BUBBLE GUM CARDS IN WONDERFUL NEAR MINT CONDITION. THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY BEST COMPLETE SET WE HAVE EVER OFFERED. THE CARDS WERE MARKED T.C.G. WHICH STOOD FOR "TRADING CARD GUILD", AND ALL CARDS MEASURE 2˝" X 3˝". TOPPS ISSUED SIX BEATLES SERIES, AND WERE PRODUCED WITH  DIFFERENT TOTAL CARD COUNTS TO EACH COMPLETE SERIES. THE "A HARD DAY'S NIGHT" SERIES WAS THE FOURTH OF THE SIX SERIES, ISSUED IN MID 1964 SHORTLY AFTER RELEASE OF THE FILM.

THE TOPPS CHEWING GUM COMPANY PRODUCED ALL THE BEATLE TRADING CARDS (BUBBLEGUM CARDS) IN THE UNITED STATES, WHO WERE THE MAJOR PLAYER IN BOTH SPORTS AND NON-SPORTS CARDS IN THE 1960'S. DEMAND WAS SO GREAT FOR THE 'BEATLES' TRADING CARDS THAT TOPPS HAD TO DELAY PRODUCTION OF THEIR 1964 BASEBALL SET TO SATISFY ORDERS FOR THE BEATLE CARDS. With BeatlemanIA firmly entrenched IN FEBRUARY 1964, the demand for anything with the Fab Four was hot. To this day, the BEATLES TOPPS TRADING CARD setS remain VERY popular with collectors.

THE "A HARD DAY'S NIGHT" MOVIE SERIES IS NUMBERED 1-55, AND HAS SEPIA TONE PICTURES ON THE FRONT WITH SCENES DESCRIBED ON THE BACK, AND FOCUSES on the GROUP'S CLASSIC big screen debut. The 55-card set is one of sIX Beatles-themed TOPPS releases that year, AND IS one of the MORE DIFFICULT sets to put together AS A complete set.

THE Card fronts are very simple. A black and white 'SEPIA' TONED photo is accompanied by a small white border. Images are a mix of shots from the film and CANDID on-set photos. Unlike the FIRST three 1964 Black and White sets, THE "A Hard Day's Night" cards do not have a facsimile signature on the front. THE Card backs come with a descriptive caption. They heavily publicize the film and roughly outline some of the movie's plot. AN OLD-STYLE MOTION PICTURE camera graphic is in the background. The card number is set is the middle of the camera. The bottom of the card has a bold headline announcing the film as well as copyright information.

THE CARDS ARE HOUSED IN THE HEAVY-DUTY MYLAR, ARCHIVAL SAFE, ACID FREE ULTRA-PROŽ "PLATINUM-SERIES" TRADING CARD PAGE INSERTS, THE ENTIRE 55 CARD COLLECTION IS THEN PRESENTED  IN A 1" THICK THREE-RING LOOSE-LEAF BINDER. THE OUTSIDE COVER OF THE BINDER IS A HIGH-QUALITY REPRODUCTION COLOR IMAGE OF THE ICONIC YELLOW 'WAX PAC'K' WRAPPER THAT WAS USED TO HOLD THE 5 CARDS AND BUBBLEGUM STICK FOR THE FIRST THREE BLACK AND WHITE SERIES. THE BACK COVER "JUMPING" IMAGE IS THAT FROM THE GROUP'S LANDMARK FIRST MOTION PICTURE "A HARD DAY'S NIGHT".
